Driving your vehicle05
Careless driving may result in a
loss of vehicle control, possibly
leading to an accident, severe
personal injury, and death. The
driver’s primary responsibility
is to drive in the safe and legal
manner. The use of any hand-
held devices, other equipment,
or vehicle systems, which take
the driver’s eyes, attention and
focus away from the safe opera-
tion of a vehicle or which are
not permissible by law, should
never be used in driving.
WARNINGAll passengers must be proper-
ly belted whenever the vehicle
is moving. Refer to "Seat belts"
in chapter 2 for more informa-
tion on the proper usage.
WARNING
Always take a look around your
vehicle for any passers-by,
especially children, before
changing the shift lever to D
(Drive) or R (Reverse).
WARNING

Moving up a steep grade from astanding start
To drive up on a steep slope,
depress the brake pedal, move the
shift gear to D (Drive), and release
the parking brake. Gradually depress
the accelerator while releasing the
service brakes.
When accelerating on a steep
slope, the vehicle may have a ten-
dency to slide backwards. Shifting
to the 2nd gear (Second Gear) will
help prevent the vehicle from slid-
ing backwards.
5-16
Driving your vehicle
Always buckle up! In a colli- sion, an unbelted occupant is
more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a proper-
ly belted occupant.
Avoid high speeds when cor- nering or turning.
Do not make quick wheel steering, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly increased when you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at a high
speed.
Loss of control often occurs, when two or more wheels are
swerved out of the roadway
and are overly steered to
reenter the roadway.
In the event your vehicle is swerved out of the roadway,
do not make a sharp steering.
Instead, slow down the vehi-
cle before reentering into the
lanes.
Never exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, sand and others,
you may rock the vehicle by
moving it forward and back-
wards. Do not attempt this pro-
cedure when there are people
or objects near the vehicle.
During the rocking operation,
the vehicle may suddenly move
forwards or backwards as it
becomes unstuck, causing
injury or damage to nearby peo-
ple or objects.
